60 Day Challenge - Day 8

We are often asked about stretching, especially after a workout.  "Why don't we do it?"  "Why don't you lead us in some cool down stretching?"

The answer is that it's not worth it.

Don't get me wrong ... stretching, especially post workout, is super beneficial.  However, we only have you for a scant 60 minutes.  We're more than happy to show you how to stretch, but there just isn't enough time in the allotted class time to hit that part of your training.  We want you to utilize your time with us to the fullest, and that means mastering skills that are more difficult than others.  Stretching is your responsibility, just as nutrition is.  You are more than welcome to hang out after a class to do some stretching and/or foam rolling.  Your best bet is to hit up one of Bryce's mobility classes.  There, you can learn from the expert, Yoga Dude Bryce, and take some of those newly-learned skills home, and get better!

As an aside, we've been training many military athletes over the years.  Our first to be deployed is now home after his tour.  Welcome home Nate!  This is a great video tribute to our Armed Forces.  Thank you, to the family who stays at home, and to those who travel abroad.
